To OUR FRIENDS AND CUSTOMERS ::
We will move to our new building next
Thursday, September 10th, where we
will be glad to see our friends and the
public generally. We have been trying
for the past two or three years to get
some one to build US larger and a bet
ter lighted storeroom, bat no one was
willing to take hold Of it, 30 we were
forced to buy and build ourselves as our
trade has increased so rapidly in the last
few years that our present room was
entirely too small, and to-day we have
the handsonlest dnE hest lidhtsJ store
room in the State We have put up this
determined that Martinsburg shall be
second to no town of its sizs in the way
of frst-clas dry goods store, where
you can find every thing in the dry
goods and carpet line from the cheapest
to the finest, aud furthermore we mean
to sell goods as cheap as any house any
where either in the city or country. We
will be so situated that we can bay goods
in large quantities from first hands,
which will enable us to buy much
cheaper than formerly, and our selling
price is governed by the price we pay.
We will still adhere to our Sne price
system of treating everybody alike,
which is the only fair and legitimate
way of doing business. Mr.. Fiery is
row in the eastern cities laying in full
stock for the fall aud winter. OF course
it will take a few weeks to straighten
things up ard arrange the stock, and as
soon as that is done we will have our
opening day of which you will be noti-
fed. We want you to call and we will
be ready to sell you anything you want,
and hope you will not delay your COM
ing, as we are going to have some great
bargains to start off with. Hoping to
see you soon at our new place of bust
ness, we are very truly yours,
EMMERT & FIERY.
